Jake Locker

Stop making excuses for the guy. He got the same excuses in college... and now the NFL. When do we finally admit- the reason he misses wide open WRs (or even when they do catch it by adjusting), it's because he's not a very good passer?

He's simply not.
This isn't an o-line thing. It's not an OC thing. When you have time, have a WR wide open, and simply miss them more-often than not? That's purely on the QB.

In today's NFL, it doesn't take 3 years to tell if a guy is going to be good or not. Jake, at this point, doesn't even look close.

Eli Manning was on a great enough team that got him through and carried him- we don't have that.

The absolute ceiling for Locker is Tony Romo's level.

And he wont even get to that point.

We need to bring someone else in, and make him compete. Maybe he wins the job- but make him win it. We need a suitable QB. And then, who knows... if he's a backup, maybe he gets his chance in a few years and actually does really well.

I don't want to wait another 3 years hoping he finally turns in to something he never has been.

I'd trade him for quite a few backups in the NFL at this point.

That's what we should have done with Hass. No way Locker won the starting spot. It was given to him after Hass had one of the better QBing seasons we've seen in a decade.

And may I suggest that you actually read the whole message before criticizing someone. If you did, you would know that dude said he has a learning disability. Moron...

I explained why I didn't read it. Sorry if I offended anyone. I guarantee you I wasn't the only one who didn't read it. And if you reread my post, I think you'll agree that I was not only polite but pointed out that I didn't in fact read the post, therefore leaving me with no way of knowing of this disorder. So sorry new guy, and gfy SATitan for calling me a moron.

You deserved it homeboy. Next time read on and you'll avoid looking like a jerk... Also, just say what you want to me instead of abbreviating it..lol

You guys dumping on Locker are just incredibly stupid. So VY gets basically five seasons of crappy play before he gets the hook; even so many fans were, and still are, pissed he was released.

Locker gets a grand total of 10 starts and you're ready to just give him one more year? I don't get this line of thinking a all.

Strike 1: Begins his career with Chris Palmer as his teacher and OC.
Strike 2: Has a terrible offensive line.
Strike 3: Has receivers that NEVER bail him out and constantly drop passes.
Strike 4: Gets shoulder injury on a play that the idiotic replacement refs should have blown dead, play never should have happened. Re-injures it again, getting a fracture this time around.

Please guys, give Locker the same leeway you gave VY. In my eyes he gets next year and the year after, three years after he gets the starting gig is a fair amount of time to evaluate a QB.

Locker only has a 4 year contract. If he isn't it by then, you gotta jettison him.

Lets hope we don't wait 4 years to see if Locker is our answer or not. I say give him next year and if he still can't throw the ball then we cut our losses and run for the hills. Seattle paid big money for Flyyn but had no problem giving the reigns to the rookie when it was obvious he was a better solution for the team. We can't afford to sit around too long hoping that he finally gets it like we did with VY, that VY, KC experiment probably cost us a SB in 08.

I don't think there is any doubt that if we don't see improvement in Jake next season, we will have a new coaching staff looking for a new QB.

Agree totally. Munchak hitched his wagon to Locker. I was against taking Locker, especially with JJ Watt on board. Just imagine if we had Watt and then Kaepernick and then DeCastro last year......... makes me want to vomit. I know hindsight is 50/50 but there were many on the board calling for that strategy AS it was unfolding......

I'm not your home boy, pal. I personally don't give a **** what you think I deserve. I'm yet to see a quality post out of your rookie ass so like I said, you can gfy.

Ditto tough guy. Which is the reason you shouldn't be giving anyone advice on posting. I kind of enjoy you message board tough guys. What a joke. You screwed up and wanna keep talking trash. Conversation over, just remember to read or is that your learning disability? Not to mention wearing your heart on your sleeve and crappy posts.... Peace homeboy
